Hardcore makes a comeback in the 614 with the boys in Adversary. With the longest track nearly clocking in at 4 minutes, this band delivers quick and solid breakdowns. Less Hatebreed-like tough guy chants and more Skeletonwitch death vocals create a fresh gap within atmosphere of hardcore music. This is perhaps why one of the tags on their Bandcamp reads "deathcore."

"Bastard" is a heavy track that cleverly syncs the pig squeals to the beats. This allows the song to be fluid and not hindered by the stereotypical metal trait of squealing. "Deceivers" is a blend of everything from the hardcore generation. More speed metal and thrash comes crashing in from the drums followed by heavy bass riffs. The final track, "Price of Life," treads on the waters of the 80s style punk-metal. You will not find any overdone movie samples on this EP, just pure metal.

The only gripe about the EP is the intro and interlude sets. These could have been saved for the full-length album.

Adversary offers fans a diverse sound of metal that is original. You can cop their EP for free at this link.
